Prevent history entry
Is there anyway to prevent a command from being logged in the history file?
I share a system with others (log in with same account) and I would like to prevent any passwords from being logged in the history file. Some of the commands that I run require username/password on the command line during execution. Thanks. |

Is yr history file not having "read" permission to you only.
If it is setup that way ... except 'root' nobody can read that file and noway to find passwds of yr history. Try change to 400 permissions to history file if it has not been done. yet |

I think his point is that multiple people use the same login ID, and therefore can access the history of that ID. I'm not sure how to prevent writing to history.
You also have another problem on your hands -- anyone can just get your username/password from a process grep. Many programs have a way of getting around that problem, like sqlplus. |
